Still having trouble with Free Riding for people 180-200 lbs.

 

My set up - 2008 Falcon V - port tank filled 230#, starboard side 1/2 filled 130#, rear locker 750#, observer seat 260#, post seat 260#, 10.5MPH SG PP, trim 0 degrees, 150# observer on the swim platform, 400# observers on the port side on top of the seat , 190# driver starboard side.

 

150 lbs riders can free ride all day. Hyperlite Co-Ex and CWB Ride 5'3". I replaced the ACME 497 with ACME 1579 13.5 14.25 and that's made a lot of difference.

 

I weigh 185 and have ridden both boards and very rarely feel that push or get slack in the line.

 

I've talked to Centurion and

 

Any help on weight?

 

I'm no expert on this regular side stuff, but we run 750 in the locker, 250 stock tank under the seats, and about 400-500 in the bow tight to the port side. plate is up just a touch. And we usually have 400lbs of pallast (people ballast) as well.

 

It's enough to push me on my CWB RAZR, and I'm not much short of 220. My friends who ride regular and are between 160 & 200 can ride this side out no problem (not a great picture, but give you the idea)

 

I hate to say it, but may wanna simplify it a bit first... we've never needed weight on the starboard side, unless water was real rough, and it was to keep the prop in the water.. (not cavitating)

We had a fantastic day out on the lake on sunday. Met up with Craig/Wiggles and temp traded my DD Phase 5 for his IS Squirt. My wife couldn't ride it, so I kicked her off and switched the ballast over to my side finally (just after the water got rough of coarse). I LOVED IT! Very fast, but did take a bit to get used to. Any ways here are some pics.

 

 

My wife's only 5'2", but man... I cursed her when I seen the 4th pic. Told her how lucky she was to have that wave to height ratio.

 

This ones my favorite pic so far this year though. Me and my 7 year old.

[islander033 2]

Cool pics DarksideR.

 

Tandom surfing with the kids is always fun.

Some more.

Because of the rough water, we had to go in one direction which put the sun behind me.

Not the greatest for photos, tried to fix with PS.

We thought this last one was kinda neet. Shadow surfer.
